Description from the owner

This home is a brand new 2 story just a few minutes from the beach. This lovely home features living room, kitchen, a bedroom and full bath downstairs with shower.

The second story has 2 bedrooms and a full bath with shower. The real treat with this house is when you climb the steps to the Palapa rooftop terrace! Relax up here with a cool drink and enjoy the 360 degree magnificent views of the Gulf, the Ria (eco site for flamingos) and the lights on the pier in Progreso.

The home is totally walled and gated for privacy, parking for 1 car inside and also includes a plunge pool for cooling off without leaving the house. There is a car available for rent.
The house is located on the outskirts of Chelem.
Chelem is a scenic seaside fishing village which boasts shops, market, pharmacy, hardware store and terrific seafood restaurants/bars, such as: El Bullpen, Lizard Joe's, Soma, Costa Azul, La Terracita to name a few.
Progreso is a 20 minute drive. Merida, a world heritage site, is about 45 minutes away.
Nearby is Dzibilchaltun, famous Mayan ruins and a cenote (deep natural pit). Take a dip in the cool waters.

"one month in Chelem"

Left on 02/11/2014 for a stay in January 2014 | BethReviewed Feb 11, 2014Stayed Jan 2014

Chelem is a good base to explore the Yucatan. It is easy to get to many key sights and close to the beautiful city of Merida and the Port town of Progreso. Casa Maya is a clean, safe and well equipped rental...and the property manager is helpful. The street is quiet and a very quick 1 minute walk to a decent beach. There are many friendly expats that live on this street. There are several very good restaurants in Chelem but may not be open when you expect them to be.
The house is a bit of a walk into town so we bought a bike and resold it. Some people may require a car as you will need food and water often.
The town of Chelem does not have coffee, good meat, good bakery, or fresh milk so you will need to go into Progreso for those items as well as for laundry. Chelem is 15 minutes by car or much more by public colectivos. The house does not have a washing machine which is difficult for long term rentals like us.
We enjoyed our time in Chelem and Casa Maya was a good fit for a small family. The walled yard was a plus.
